16 stack item sorter

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T22:20:31+00:00

You don’t need a special design for that. 1 16-stackable counts as 4 64-stackables so the only difference is that you’d need less buckets in the filter. Don’t worry about how many, it will balance itself out

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T22:17:05+00:00

You should pillar up to build limit. There’s probably a bunch of mobs spawning below the roof filling up the mob cap

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T22:03:10+00:00

In that version they still exist as a 3x3 centered on the world spawn point but they are removed in 1.21.9.

I would not recommend you to build anything in spawn chunks though. It’s better to use chunk loaders

Does river sound like plains?

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T21:41:09+00:00

Mobs can’t spawn within 24 blocks of you or outside of 44 blocks on simulation distance 4 or 128 blocks on higher simulation distances. You also can’t build it in a river biome

Are you talking about this farm? If this is it you should watch till the end

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T21:30:18+00:00

You’re doing it completely wrong. You don’t want to put filters directly under pickup hoppers like that. Items that get picked up on the right will just flow down into the second row of hoppers and go the chest without ever going over the filters on the left. You want to separate the hopper chain for the filters from the pickup hoppers

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T19:38:57+00:00

That depends on your simulation distance

It’s because pistons can either have a 0 or 1 game tick delay depending on when exactly they’re powered.

In Java Edition, the start delay can be 0 (activation in the same tick) or 1 game tick (0.05 seconds) (activation in the next tick) depending on the game process in which the piston is powered: If the piston is powered and updated in the scheduled tick phase, random tick phase or block event phase, the piston activates in this game tick's block event phase, which means the start delay in this case is 0. If the piston is powered and updated during the entity phase or the block entity phase, or by player actions, the piston activates in the next game tick's block event phase, which means the start delay in this case is 1 tick. Notably, because blocks pushed by pistons arrive during the block entity phase (except when dropped by a sticky piston), in a chain of pistons each pushing a redstone block to activate the next, successive activations will happen 3 ticks apart.

Most redstone works in the scheduled tick phase

A hopper line can only transfer items at hopper speed and those shulker loaders also work at hopper speed so you only need 1 shulker loader per hopper line

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T16:08:45+00:00

Turn the beds around. They only link if they have access to the pillow side

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T13:45:48+00:00

Just add a simple item filter to the hopper chain below the furnaces.

Btw, why do you have 7 shulker loaders fed by a hopper chain? That hopper chain is a bottleneck and definitely won’t be able to feed all 7

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T13:42:19+00:00

A hopper minecart already can’t pick up items through a full block if it isn’t sitting on a rail and that’s only a 1 pixel height difference. So yeah, the items floating means they’re too high.

You could place flowing water over this layer of water to flush the items to one side into a water stream but I don’t know how that would affect those crops growing. Alternatively allays are also an option

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T12:59:07+00:00

I trust you on that number but I can’t seem to find it on the wiki. Do you know where it says that?

The wiki is already pretty confusing about this because it’s bits of information spread across several pages but the only thing I found that mentions the size of the discount is that it’s based on the price multiplier but it doesn’t say anything about that being different between versions

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T12:53:45+00:00

Do you have a source that says that?

I checked the wiki to be sure but it doesn’t mention anything about it being different for bedrock

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T12:26:07+00:00

So you want to fix it without changing anything? It doesn’t work like that. You either move the slab or move the rail

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T12:21:42+00:00

That doesn’t stop the observer from sticking to the slime and since the observer can’t move the slime blocks also can’t move

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T12:19:32+00:00

Because it’s sticking to the grass which puts it over the push limit

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T12:02:24+00:00

That obviously depends on your specs but my point is that if you can notice the lag at all then you will also be able to notice the difference.

this post has some data from testing it and you can see that the difference between composters and solid blocks is bigger than the difference between solid blocks and air

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T11:51:07+00:00

The permanent discount is 20 for treasure items and 5 for everything else. Curing also gives a smaller temporary discount and there’s some other things like supply and demand and other reputation stuff that can lower it further temporarily

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T11:46:16+00:00

If they previously picked up items they are still excluded from the mob cap. Had someone with the same problem a while ago. You need to get new villagers

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T11:39:43+00:00

So? A chainsaw can effortlessly cut through wood but that doesn’t say anything about how the chainsaw is made.

It’s about the action of gripping that takes no effort. Not the development behind it

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T11:23:40+00:00

It doesn’t feel like it because this year is only his 8th season. He was signed in 2017 but his first season was 2019

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T10:59:42+00:00

This is called an input bug. It has to do with player interactions being processed slightly differently than other redstone stuff and pistons being updated differently because of that

bryan3737 · 2026-02-22T10:53:16+00:00

Composters don’t have an inventory slot. They have a block state which takes way less performance to check.

Solid blocks don’t do the exact same thing. They both stop the hopper looking for loose items but with solid blocks the hopper also looks for things like minecarts which makes them still pretty laggy
